En su primer libro que explora el final de esta era, Max ofrece una visión sabia, bien documentada y tranquilizadora de lo que la Palabra de Dios tiene que decir sobre un tema que a menudo crea confusión y ansiedad.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is notable for its observance of Saturday as the old Jewish Sabbath, but its identity extends beyond this practice. Adherents hold the writings of their prophetess, Ellen G. White, as divinely inspired and inerrant, akin to the Bible. These teachings are the cornerstone of various Adventist doctrines, including Sabbatarianism, the Investigative Judgment, Vegetarianism, Soul Sleep, and other unconventional beliefs. Particularly contentious is the notion that salvation is earned through strict adherence to the Old Testament law. Similar to other cult-like ...

An eighteenth century Scottish poet wrote concerning war: "Rash, fruitless war, from wanton glory waged, is only splendid murder." An older preacher used this quotation when he wrote concerning a particularly brutal doctrinal attack on another elderly preacher by a group of younger, treacherous preachers. While many controversies among Christians and churches aren't this vicious, many Christians and congregations simply don't know how to navigate personal and doctrinal clashes; and thus, do more harm than good. Such situations expose some noble and naïve souls to some pretty treacherous ...

Generational Sins The Bible reveals patterns of sin passed down through generations, sometimes as generational curses. To grasp this, we must understand the nature of a curse and how it's linked to sin. Just as the laws of gravity are unbreakable, the laws of sin result in curses and death. The Ten Commandments serve as a warning against generational curses. Exodus 20:3-6 emphasizes the consequences of idolatry, highlighting the repercussions of disobedience. These spiritual laws not only affect the initial generation but can also impact subsequent ones. The Bible recognizes sin as both an ...

With a unique combination of research, interviews, personal experience, and theological reflection, author Matthew McGuire takes the listener on a journey to re-examine his or her presuppositions about the nature of the world we inhabit. Is this universe nothing more than Bertrand Russell's accidental collocations of atoms, or are there deeper, spiritual dimensions to the cosmos?

When will Jesus return? Are there signs in the Bible that tell us? There are hundreds of books written about prophecy and the signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time. There are many Bible prophecies that have come true and many more that will come true. God has given us...

One of the most important things you can do as a Christian is to know the attributes of God, since all the essential doctrines of the Faith flow from these important characteristics.We are magnifying who and what God is! As the church grapples with new and innovating ways to understand God’s nature, a flawed concept of God threatens to reduce not only the awe and majesty of the Almighty, but also the clear and crucial ontological (being) distinction between the Creator and creation, the eternal and temporal, and the infinite and finite.Open Theism (aka Free Will Theism, Neotheism, or ...

This text presents the life of Fr. Roman Braga, while also exploring the broader historical context in which he lived. Most fundamentally, it reveals the transfigured life of a man who is close to us in time, but who passed far beyond us in his spiritual life, who was not broken but rather transformed by Gods grace, even in the midst of the horrors of torture and imprisonment. He continues to shine as a beacon of God's love, and a witness to His power to overcome even the greatest of evils.

Hagars Leben ist auf den ersten Blick nicht sehr erbaulich. Die Erzählung aus Genesis 16 ist vielmehr eine Geschichte vom Bodensatz des Lebens. Ausgegraben aus dem Schlick und Schlamm menschlicher Erfahrung. Es geht um Flucht und Patriarchat, um sexuelle Ausbeutung und toxische Beziehung, um Sehnsucht und Trauma, Verzweiflung und Egoismus, um Macht und Gewalt, Unrecht und Neid. Und um eine unbändige Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. Sebastian Rink legt die Erzählung von Hagar neu aus.

You have a philosophy. It's the lens through which you view the world and make decisions. Everyone views life through a filter. The Bible calls that your philosophy. It's the way you think and it controls the outcome of your life. Ask yourself, do you believe the Bible is the infallible and inspired Word of God? Do you believe there is only one way to God? Is God good or judgmental? Does He control your destiny or is that up to you? The answers to these questions and many more will determine your philosophy. That philosophy then, will affect the way you see many social issues like creation ...

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

Thomas Jay Oord and Tripp Fuller offer an open and relational vision of God.
